    •  DETAILED DESCRIPTION
  • The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the 110 drawings:
  • As shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 5, an air pump, comprising a housing 1, the housing is provided with an air inlet 2 and an air outlet 3, a pumping assembly 4 is disposed inside the housing 1 enabling the air to flow between the air inlet 2 and the air outlet 3, wherein the housing 1 is connected with a sealing assembly 5 capable of sealing the air outlet 3, and a rotary bracket 6 is also disposed inside the housing 1, capable of driving the sealing assembly 5 to open or close the air outlet 3 when rotating, the sealing assembly 5 includes a cover body 51 fixedly connected to the housing 1 and provided with an airflow passage 52 communicating with the air outlet 3, the sealing assembly 5 further includes a sealing bracket 53 capable of being pushed by the rotary bracket 6 and sliding horizontally relative to the housing 1 when the rotary bracket 6 rotates, the sealing bracket 53 includes a sealing body 531 provided with at least two contacting bars 532 of an array in a circumferential direction connected with the rotary bracket 6, the sealing bracket 53 is provided with a sealing ring 54 capable of being in sealing contact with the housing 1 and being detached from the housing 1 when the sealing bracket 53 slides, a spring 55 for pressing the sealing bracket 53 toward the housing 1 is disposed between the sealing body 531 and the cover body 51. To inflate, the rotary bracket 6 rotates and pushes the contacting bar 532 of the sealing bracket 53 during the rotation process, making the sealing bracket 53 to slide laterally relative to the housing 1, and when the spring 55 is further compressed, the sealing ring 54 of the sealing bracket 53 disengages from the housing 1 to open the air outlet 3, thus the pumping assembly 4 operates to allow air to enter from the air inlet 2 and pass through the inside of the housing 1 from the air outlet 3, flowing out into the inflatable product. When the inflation is completed, the rotary bracket is rotated again, the sealing bracket 53 is moved in the opposite direction, the spring 55 presses the sealing bracket 53, and the sealing ring 54 is pressed against the housing 1 to seal the air outlet 3, ensuring that the air in the inflatable product will not leak out. When the air inside the inflatable product needs to be exhausted by pumping the inflatable product, the rotary bracket 6 is rotated again to make the sealing ring 54 disengage from the housing 1. At this time, the air outlet 3 is opened, and the air inside the inflatable product is sequentially discharged through the air outlet 3, the inside of the housing 1 and the air inlet 2. The pumping assembly 4 is prior art and will not be described herein. Since the sealing body 531 is provided with at least two contacting bars 532 of an array in a circumferential direction connected with the rotary bracket 6, the sealing bracket 53 moves very smoothly when it slides laterally, and no deflection or stagnation occurs. The air outlet 3 is evenly opened, making the inflation or deflation time shorter, so that the air pump operates stably and reliably, and due to the smooth movement of the sealing bracket 53, the contact portion between the sealing ring 54 and the housing 1 does not appear to be loose or tight in some position, which ensures the good sealing effect of the sealing ring 54 on the air outlet 53.
  • As shown in FIG. 3, the spring 55 may be located at the outside of the housing 1, therefore, when the air pump is assembled, the sealing bracket 53 and the sealing ring 54 may be assembled to the housing 1 first, then the spring 55 is assembled, and the cover body 51 is fixedly assembled to the housing 1 finally, which is simpler and more convenient to assemble. It is also convenient to replace and repair when the seal assembly 5 needs to be replaced and repaired. The spring 55 is always in a compressed state regardless of whether the air outlet 3 is opened or closed.
  • As shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 2 and FIG. 5, the rotary bracket 6 is connected with a rotary button 7 which is exposed out of the housing 1. By rotating the rotary button 7 manually, the rotary bracket 6 can be conveniently rotated, thereby opening or sealing the air outlet 3, which is very convenient and quick.
  • As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 5, the air inlet 2 is arranged on the rotary button 7, and the structure is simpler and the production is more convenient.
  • As shown in FIG. 5, the rotary bracket 6 may include a rotary body 61 provided with a concave groove 62/concave grooves 62, and the concave groove 62 has an inclined groove wall or a cambered groove wall, when the rotary bracket 6 rotates, the groove wall of the concave groove pushes/the groove walls of the concave grooves 62 push the sealing bracket 53 to move horizontally. When the air outlet 3 is sealed, the end of each contacting bars 532 is located in the concave groove 62 correspondingly, at this time the spring 55 is pressed against the sealing bracket 53, thus bring the sealing ring 54 into close contact with the housing 1 to seal the air outlet 3. When the rotary bracket 6 rotates, the inclined groove wall or the cambered groove wall of the concave groove 62 presses the contacting bar 532, so that the sealing bracket 53 moves back and the sealing ring 54 is disengaged from the housing 1 to open the air outlet 3, the spring 55 is further compressed. Therefore, as long as the rotary bracket 6 rotates, the air outlet can be opened or sealed, the structure is simple and the design is ingenious. When the air outlet 3 is sealed, the end of each contacting bar 532 is located in the concave groove 62, the concave groove 62/grooves 62 also serves/serve to position the sealing bracket 53 at the same time, so that the entire air pump structure is simple and compact, and the rotating bracket 6 is also connected with a rotary button 7 exposed out of the housing 1, which is very convenient and quick to operate manually.
  • As shown in FIG. 5, the pumping assembly 4 is disposed on the rotary bracket 6, making the structure of the entire air pump simpler and more compact.
  • As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 6, the housing 1 is provided with guiding holes 8, and the contacting bars 532 pass through the guiding holes 8 respectively. Therefore, when the sealing bracket 53 slides, it is operated more smoothly and reliably.
  • As shown in FIG. 4, the sealing ring 54 may include an annular ring body 541 having two annular sealing convex ribs 542 projecting to one side, and an annular gap 543 is formed between the two sealing convex ribs 542. Through the contact between two sealing convex ribs 542 and the outer portion of the air outlet 3 of the housing 1, two ring contacts are formed to achieve the double sealing effect, and the sealing effect is better. The arrangement of the annular gap 543 can also prevent the impurity and dust from entering the interior of the housing 1, avoiding the contamination of the internal components of the housing 1.
  • As shown in FIG. 4, the hardness of the sealing convex ribs 542 is lower than the hardness of the ring body 541. Therefore, the harder ring body 541 has sufficient support force to support the spring force of the spring 55, so that the sealing ring 54 is pressed tightly against the housing to seal the air outlet 3. And the softer sealing convex ribs 542 have good elasticity, when it is pressed by the harder ring body 541, it is more easily deformed to seal the air outlet 3, which effectively prevent dust from entering the inside of the sealing convex ribs 542 and achieve better sealing effect.
